I’d go with 9.0 personally. All you’re getting at 9.3 is the MBT-70 which while great isn’t as good as the German one. But then of course you’re unnecessarily uptiering the TTS as well as the York and XM803.
take my opinion with a grain of salt as I’m only 8.7 in russia, but when I play 10.3 with the t 80 ud and my caked up bmp, I always see mbt 70s. they always somehow get unavoidably uptiered to 10.3. id say stay at 9.0 to be spared from the great uptier.
Just that it has a slightly worse engine, less smoke grenade pops, and a much worse reload (7.5s reload instead of 6.0s reload) compared to the Kpz-70.
MBT-70 is one of the worst MBTs at 9.3, whereas the KPZ-70 is one of the best.
You have a crappy round with either, but you can’t out-reload anything with the MBT-70, but you can out-reload basically everything with the KPZ-70.
thats mbt-70 for you
granted the mbt-70 was also planned to have 6 seconds reload but due to the autoloader being troublesome they move to a different autoloader that load slower but reliable
it should get a buff really
the replacement autoloader was able to load 7-9 round a min and stable 6-8 round a min
they should buff the reload to like 7 seconds or 6.75 seconds
I’d go with 9.0 because MBT-70 isn’t worth being uptiered to 10.3
I use XM803, M60A3 TTS, M247 and F-84F for 9.0, i really enjoyed it and got few nukes with it
XM803 is fast, has good APFSDS with great turret traverse, fuel tank manages to eat DM13 and turret sometimes bounces the shots while its frontaly immune to 30mm APDS
USA 9.3 barely made a line up there, why don’t gaijing just put the Merkavas in the tech tree and make that two xm-1 variants available to everyone? Given the fact that Israel can shit out more MBTs at 9.3 than two nations combined lol
play mbt-70
its reliable in top tier also(ive tried)
also they both have adjustable hydropneumatic suspension so you can get more depression or low profile
If the Super M60 was added to 9.3 that would help a lot. Might be a stretch though, however given that it is basically the tech and gun of the M60A3 TTS on a new platform there might be a chance.
